Sonar Mapping and Survey System

A Sonar Mapping and Survey System is a comprehensive underwater acoustical toolset used to create detailed 3D maps of the seafloor (bathymetry) and image submerged objects. It typically combines a Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) for high-resolution depth measurements with a Side-Scan Sonar (SSS) for detailed imagery of seabed textures and objects. These systems are mounted on survey vessels, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), or Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and are essential for nautical charting, offshore construction, pipeline route surveys, archaeological discovery, and military applications like mine countermeasures and harbor clearance.

• Multibeam Echosounder (MBES): Measures water depth across a wide swath to create 3D bathymetric maps.

• Side-Scan Sonar (SSS): Provides high-resolution, photograph-like imagery of the seabed for object detection.

• Used for hydrographic surveying, underwater infrastructure planning, and search & recovery.

• Generates georeferenced data products like digital terrain models (DTMs) and mosaics.

• Critical for safe navigation, offshore resource exploration, and environmental studies.

• The standard tool for professional underwater mapping and exploration.
